[cosmicgate22]

Can someone confirm this for me??

Ill be in town that weekend and would very much like to hear him.

I heard his set on the Terrace @ the music conference was just unreal.

Thanks

Ice has it confirmed on their website, www.icelasvegas.com so I imagine he'll be here. Godskitchen has been bringing in some sick talent lately. I saw his set a few weeks ago at Ice and he just killed it.

Thanks

No prob. I'll prolly run into you there. What else do you have planned for that weekend

[vegasguy25]

The S-Man is the real deal. So happy he likes Vegas enough to come here three times so far this year (including the upcoming gig in May). Hopefully this continues. Many thank-you's to Ice and Godskitchen for the talent they have been bringing through town. It is much appreciated.

The last 2 times Roger was here he was amazing and the terrace set at SPACE a few weeks back was possibly the best I have ever heard

Do not miss this guy - after hearing him last year in Miami and 3 times in the past few months - I have a hard time beleiving there is a better house DJ out there

[vegasguy25]

He is Morillo without the breakdowns, which is why I prefer the S-Man. Morillo plays awesome records, but those breakdowns, while tolerable, are not ideal for a house set. That said, Morillo's sets at Space during WMC, both inside and outside, were quality. The live vocalist was a great touch.

What do you mean by breakdowns - just wondering

Have you seen Erick Morillo? If you have, you would know what I am talking about. He puts on a record, a great house record, with an excellent groove, plays it for a few minutes, lets the crowd get into it, and then he breaks it down to near silence. I like him, but that is pretty annoying. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. I can think of at least three times during his terrace set at Space during WMC where he would bring the record down to silence for a good 6-8 seconds before bringing it back in. What is the point of that?

Its called a build up. Some people like and some people dont.
He must be doing something right though.

All i know is now im psyched for the "S" Man.

Yeah - I saw Morillo when he was out here at ICE and at Space. I know exactly what you are talking about too - we just call it 2 different things.

Personally - I am a huge fan of building up a record and looping it for a while - its a technique first mastered by Jonathan Peters - and now Morillo. But it does get very annoying when he cuts it down to complete silence - b/c you are expecting the track to explode at that moment. I noticed it once or twice at ICE and it definitely stuck out more for his terrace set (inside he played pretty smooth) - and from what I heard about his B-day this past Friday in NY - it happened quite a bit more

Another thing to keep is mind is that Morillo gets fuckin wrecked for (especially for afterhours) and his spinning does tend to get sloppy at times I've heard stories of him extremely drunk or fucked up - my buddies in NY tell me he is notorious for this in the late late hours of Crobar and Discoteque performances and his music is all over the place

Im not sure JP was the first one to do it.I remember back in the day Marshall Jefferson and Chippee were looping and sampling stuff on the fly.

I think what Eric does is loop and tweak.

Your right, it can get annoying at time's, but as you can see from my sig, IMO he is the man.

I'm sorry - that came out wrong. I'm sure he wasn't the first, but the first DJ I've listened to who really works the fuck out of tracks. He really doesn't do this all that much anymore. Morillo does a lot of sampling too - he drops all kinds of random accapellas (at least when he was out here in Vegas - not as much in Miami but he did a few) and samples of songs over newer beats. I know in the past he has played different in NY and Jersey though

Either way Morillo is the man - he brings VIBE to a room like none other
